Chapter 2: I Wanna Be Sedated
Hilde nearly fell over in shock when she saw the guy standing at the door. (Though she tried her best not to show it). Forget the internet porno computer geeks or preppy latte hating blonde's, she was stuck with a hippy pedophile! She'd take the deadbeat with hangovers over this good looking schmo any day. The fact that he was good looking didn't make her like him any more though. The fact that this guy was the tutor that would be ruining her life was enough to make her despise him in addition to the crimes against her person. This one even had the AUDACITY to ogle her. She glared.
"Take a picture, it last longer." She spat. He seemed a bit stunned and then if Hilde's parents had been watching they would've seen him give a bitter smirk and roll his eyes. Duo figured that it'd be best to keep his mouth shut in front of her parents, remaining as courteous as possible.
"Hilde mind your manners!" Hilde's mom apologized on her behalf saying that Hilde had been a bit grumpy lately. Hilde found this funny but her current mood didn't allow her to laugh. She? Grumpy? What the hell gave them that idea? If anything........she was down right pissed. She clenched her jaw in agitation, glaring down the bothersome tutor who she had yet to get the name of. He in turn stared back, violet eyes burning with malice.
Mrs. Schebeiker decided to take this time to finally introduce the two agitated youths.
"Duo this is Hilde, our daughter. Hilde this is your tutor Duo Maxwell." The woman stood expecting Hilde to welcome him but was displeased to see her daughter continue her acts of childishness.
"Hilde you are being silly, greet Mr. Maxwell properly." She sighed. He'd only been in the house two minutes and he'd already been promoted to 'Mr. Maxwell'. She extended her hand hesitantly. He grinned at her as they shook hands and when he did this she read the unspoken message. /Make my life a living hell and I'll return the favor./ She smirked, squeezing his hand slightly. She was up to the challenge. Her parents made the time arrangements and the boy made his way out the door waving cheerfully. Hilde crossed her hands over her chest and stole away to her room thinking of what she was to do about this new threat.

That girl practically radiated ICE. I don't know if that's possible but if not, she MADE it possible. She seemed to be daring me to say something. Well I got news for the little missy: being a bitch isn't going to insure my silence. Hell! IT's not any of my business what she does after school! Why the hell would I tell her parents? Is that what she honestly thinks?
Well anyways I have my first tutoring session with Helga what's her face, after school tomorrow. This better not be a waste of my time because on top of that I have to work soup kitchen, starting Wednesday. I HATE soup kitchen. But then again I should be thankful I'm not GIRL on soup kitchen duty. Because I'd be pretty pissed if I was forced to serve a whole herd of dirty, horny, old men who do nothing but ogle me the whole time I'm ladling there 'poor excuse for soup' into their bowls. THAT could be pretty irritating.
Well as I left little Olga's house I decided to drop by Heero's. I was feeling a little frustrated and maybe he could help me out. I was in the mood for a little experimentation you might say...........

"Relena my tutor is most definitely NOT a senior!" Relena curled her finger under her bottom lip and looked shiftily to the side.
"Oooooh...........then it's a hot college freshman?" She purred. I rolled my eyes and slammed my locker shut.
"Girl! Get your mind out the gutter already!" The blonde just shook her head and laughed.
"I can't Hilde, it's in my nature." She insisted sweetly. I fixed her with a look. Ever since I'd first met Relena she was always VERY boy crazy, you wouldn't expect it from her. She looks so innocent at times. But she's a blonde bombshell fire cracker, this I know. That is besides the point though.
"Relena! My tutor is a blazing pedophile hippy!" People in passing gave us strange looks and small snickers but I just ignored them. Relena rolled her eyes.
"Your just being over dramatic." I stomped my foot like a small child having a tantrum.
"Why the FUCK does everyone say that!?" In an instant someone was standing in between me and Hilde. Due to the sudden shock and speed I held my books even closer to my chest and gasped slightly, wide eyed. I looked up and identified the person as none other than Alex.
"Did I hear someone say fuck?" He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and I scowled. I could hear Relena giggle slightly from behind him.
"Get lost Alex." He turned his head to the side and made some stupid gesture thinking he was cool.
"Getting lost." He was gone as quickly as he came. I simply gave him a look that said I thought he needed counseling and was very disturbed by that moment. as Relena but out in laughter. The people in our school are so WEIRD. I mean you get used to it. Alex himself was the local horny weirdo. The way I saw it, he went after anything with two legs. It was actually quite sad. Relena's laughter finally subsided as she leaned her back against my locker looking off dreamily, as if her prince had just stopped by with a million dollar shopping spree ticket.
"Well Hilde, if you don't want him then you know you can always look me up." I put my hands on my hips.
"He's in college Relena." She scrambled from her resting position and gave me this look as if I'd told her I had Johnny Depp waiting at my house. She squealed.
"Wow he's past puberty and everything!" I fixed her with an odd look.
"Uh huh, how bout we start heading to class........" The whole way to class Relena bombarded me with all sorts of questions about my "mysterious" violet eyed tutor. Most of which I simply ignored with an ease that even made myself curious. It sure as hell was making Relena curious.
"Look all you need to know is that I hate him." She then asked me how I could hate someone I don't know and I told her that fact that he was my tutor was enough to make me hate him.
"Yea OK Hilde." She said, her words dripping with sarcasm. /what kind of world do I live in?/ I mentally sighed.
)just put me in a wheelchair, get me to the show
hurry hurry hurry before i go loco
i can't control my fingers, i can't control my toes
oh no oh no oh no(

Duo Maxwell rolled up to the front of the Schebeiker home in his little black Volvo at the appointed time of his tutoring session with "What's her face" as he had so lovingly named her. He wasn't at all nervous, it's not like he should be or anything. He kept his hands in his pockets and tried smoothing down the front of his gray t-shirt. He even ironed his pants, but it didn't make that much of a difference. The wrinkles were still there but the fact that the pants were black helped in a way. At this time the parents were at work which left the house to Holly and himself, whenever she got home that is. He sighed in irritation, glancing at his watch impatiently. The crisp semi autumn air filled Duo's senses and relaxed him a bit. Lord knows he was a bit bitter about the whole situation but he'd have to make a way. He secretly cursed Heero for having things so easy most of the time. Heero had freedom AND money, as oppose to Duo who only had his freedom and even that was in jeopardy due to this recent squabbles with the law. But we're not going to go into that. Heero had been born into a very well of family and it wasn't long before he reached the age when he could finally set out on his own and accomplish something. Though Duo would never admit it, he had indeed envied Heero from the start, because he had a family. People who were always there to support him through school, even if he didn't care for them too much. So here Duo was, practically prostituting himself to the system and trying to make his way up the career ladder. Tutoring might look kinda good on his resume when he actually applied for a job that didn't involve pulling his hair out in frustration and that didn't include working as a cashier at TARGET. That could possibly be worst though he wasn't too sure as of yet.
Eventually he saw a figure making it's way up the sidewalk in a pair of blue jeans and a small white baby tee. As the figure got closer you could see the words " I'd be nicer if you were smarter" printed across the front in blue bubble letters. Duo smirked. /Well isn't that just touching/ he thought to himself, smirking. As she walked past him towards the door she turned around and gave him a critical look.
"What the hell are you smirking at." She shook his head and grinned, unfazed by the girl's attitude.
"Nothing for you to be concerned with dearest." He smiled sweetly as she sucker her teeth and opened the door. Even if she was a bit bitchy she was still hot in Duo's book. He grinned appreciatively as he followed behind her, walking into the finely furnished house. She gave Duo a pointed look over her shoulder.
"SO how long are these damn sessions?" Duo took his book bag and set it down on the couch as he looked around.
"That depends on you. You don't cooperate with me I waste your time." Hilde whipped around to glare at Duo.
"Hell if I let you do THAT!"
"Look here HEATHER-"
"It's Hilde ass wipe!"
"Yah yah whatever Olga." Duo waved her off indifferent to her un pleasant behavior. Hilde put her hands on her hips and glared at the braided boy even harder.
"Just hurry up and let's get this shit over with." She grumbled as she grabbed her book and sat down at the table. Duo decided to piss her off even further.
"Got anything to drink?" He grinned lopsidedly as he took his sweet time walking into the kitchen. Hilde continued to mumble under her breath as she went in the fridge and turned around to throw a capri sun at Duo(quiet forcefully might I add). Duo caught the juice pouch with ease and quirked and eyebrow at Hilde.
"Well aren't you just little miss sunshine?" He said, his words laced with sarcasm. Hilde sighed and then said something that had been on her mind ever since she saw Duo standing in her doorway. Before she knew it the words were tumbling out of her mouth in rapid succession.
"Your not going to tell my parents about what you saw the other day are you?" Duo stopped in the middle of poking a hole in his capri sun to gawk at her. Then he laughed a full, 'that was damned funniest thing I ever did hear' laugh. Hilde could feel heat rising to her cheeks as she felt a bit angry at the fact that he found the perdicament she was in amusing.
"What the hell is so damn funny?"
"You." He squirt some of the juice in his mouth after biting a whole in the top, seeing as the straw was somewhat un cooperative.
"Listen. I'm your tutor, who you fuck on your spare time is none of my damned business. I thought you would know that. I don't see why you think of me as your parents personal little stool pigeon and I've only been here a day. Besides..." He squirted another shot of juice in his mouth.
"Their only paying me to tutor you NOT be your own eating, drinking, shitting, fucking body guard so quit the attitude....... it's not very intimidating." HE took another gulp of juice and closed his eyes savoring the citrus taste. When he was finally finished he took the crushed pouch and threw it in the nearby garbage can. His thirst now quenched.
Hilde, who was still suspicious of him, brooded in her own little universe as she thought of what her tutor's frequent appearances in her life would mean. Duo sat across from her and gave her an impatient glance.
"Are we gonna do this shit or not?" Hilde sighed.
"Don't give me that tone like I'm the one wasting your time." Duo made a face, mocking her.
"Well in a sense you are if your gonna make me sit here and watch you sit on your ass all day."
"You act as if I'm the one that called for your help!"
"Well I guess when you screwed up in class you sent a nice big Duo signal in the sky now didn'ya?" He made finger quotes as he said the phrase 'Duo signal'.
"You are so full of yourself."
"I could say the same about you!"
"You probably couldn't teach a grown man to tie his shoe, yet alone teach me math!"
"You'd like to think that. If you're so smart then why am I here?"
"Who the fuck knows!" Duo walked over to the fridge and rummaged through it in search of something. He obviously figured there was no point in arguing with the girl.
"Who are you to just start picking through my fridge." Hilde crossed her arms looking at Duo as if he'd lost his ever lasting mind. Surely he didn't tink he owned this household and he was certainly no friend of hers.
"First of all it's your parent's fridge. Second, why don't you just shut the fuck up." He spat as he sat down at the table with a peach. He looked at her and grinned manically.
"You wanna be difficult then we'll just sit here for the next two hours." He sneered.
"Fine whatever suits you." She spat as she grabbed a magazine from the middle of the table.
The next hour or so before Hilde's parents got home were filled with sounds of Hilde turning pages angrily in her magazine and Duo munching unhappily on his peach. Both refused to even pay the other as much as a glance and just sat quietly at the table, each keeping tabs on the unusually loud ticking of the kitchen clock's second hand. After flipping through the magazine for too long Hilde decided to get started on her homework and felt she understood it well enough. Just as she was about to put pencil to paper she felt eyes on her.
"What?" She said without looking up. Duo chuckled.
"Nothin go ahead and knock yourself out kid." he had his feet propped up on the opposite chair and had his cap over his eyes. He wasn't sure if he was really going to sleep or if it was some kind of ruse to watch her without it seeming so, but either way she couldn't tell which unnerved her more.
She spared a glance at the clock and noticed that an hour and a half had passed. Her parents would be home soon.
"Ya know it's been a blast sitting here and wasting my time listening to the rhapsody of your magazine and my own munching but I must be off. I had a GREAT time perhaps we should do tis again, maybe tomorrow at the usual time? Your place not mine. Yuck yuck yuck yuck.............." His words were laced with sarcasm as he spoke the sentence in a perfect suave English accent. He pretended to sip an imaginary cup of tea as he got up and jingled his keys. Then he got to the door he stopped.
"Listen Hermoine," Hilde wrinkled her nose in disgust at the name and was about to protest when cut off.
"I really don't care." he gritted out
"Now listen here-" HE held up a hand and made a ''tsk'' sound as he mowed over her objections. Hilde seethed silently as she finally held her tongue and let him continue the rest of the sentence.
"I am NOT going to sit here with you and baby sit. Stop acting like I did shit to you and get over it. You have a tutor. Boo hoo, life isn't fair! Everything is not always your damn way. The world doesn't revolve around little Olga- don't you dare interrupt me! I haven't even gotten started yet." He pinned her with a cold stare and continued, his voice dangerously low.
"You have already determined that I'm going to push you around and you don't even know who the fuck I am. Want to be treated like your opinion matters? Then grow the fuck up and stop bitching every time something doesn't go your way. There are a lot of people who have it a lot worse than getting a friggin tutor." Hilde remained silent, still stewing in her anger.
"When I come back tomorrow for this god forsaken session, I don't expect to waste my time because believe it or not I got better shit to do then stare at some sophomore kid for 2 hours. Later." He gave a one fingered salute and the next minute he was roaring down the block in his little black Volvo.
)ba-ba-baba, baba -ba-baba I wanna be sedated(
Hilde stared after the car right before slamming the door with a satisfying BANG.
)ba-ba-baba, baba -ba-baba i wanna be sedated(
She stomped up and the stairs and opened her window looking up and down the block.
)ba-ba-baba, baba -ba-baba i wanna be sedated
Then she took a deep breath as she stuck her head out, and screamed. A scream that probably shattered the ear drums of every individual unlucky enough to be within earshot.
The tutor thought he was upset. Well SHE was in a rage.
)ba-ba-baba, baba -ba-baba i wanna be sedated(
"HILDE!" Hilde gasped and turned around in her fury to see both of her parents staring at her as if she lost her mind. /Shit./
